Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 281: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (8)

When I arrived at the kitchen, Xiaojiu had already wiped the table and was waiting with his head propped up.

Seeing Shi Qi coming over, she ran over sweetly: "Little Master, hey, I want to eat that pizza today."

Shi Qi smiled and touched Xiao Jiu's head: "Didn't you just eat it yesterday? Why do you want to eat it again?"

"Yeah, I want to eat!"

Lu Ziqi raised his eyebrows: "Pisa? What kind of dish is that? This is the first time I've heard of it. Is it made with pig skin and dipped in sauce?"

"Well, you'll know when it's done." Shi Qi picked up a bag of flour, pursed his lips, and smiled mysteriously.

Although Lu Ziqi was curious, he didn't ask too many questions. He just sat quietly and obediently with Xiaojiu, watching the woman busy in the kitchen.

Talking about a woman...seems a bit strange, she should be called Little Master Qingxin.

I heard that she was a demoted female official. Seeing how skilled she was in making noodles and cutting vegetables, could it be that... she was an official in the imperial kitchen?

He had heard from Xiaojiu a long time ago that she was an excellent cook. Today, he had some free time after cooking, so he saved his stomach so that he could have a delicious meal.

She was not short, but a little thin, but her complexion was much rosier than when I saw her a few days ago.

There were many beautiful women in their Luling homeland, and their looks and temperament were one in a million. The woman in front of him had neither black hair nor a flowing feather skirt, but was only wearing a gray monk's robe and a monk's hat.

But her calm and composed manner, and her temperament as white as ink and snow, made her look much more attractive.

It made him curious for a moment...the way she looked with long hair and flowing dress.

But... am I scary? Am I ugly?

Why does she always look nervous and uneasy every time she sees me...

"Brother, don't be jealous of the young master. Although the young master's cooking skills are great, Xiaojiu prefers the food cooked by you, hehe." Xiaojiu saw Lu Ziqi in a daze and thought he was jealous, so he explained cutely.

Thinking back, Lu Ziqi smiled and patted Xiaojiu's head: "Brother, I don't, I just think the young master is great."

In recent years, many women have been demoted or sold here, but they either look sad all day long or commit suicide to end it all.

It was the first time he had seen someone like her, who was so positive despite having a hard life.

Xiaojiu: "Yeah, Xiaojiu likes the little master, and the little master is good to Xiaojiu."

Lu Ziqi smiled and said, "Silly Xiaojiu, you like whoever treats you well."

"Yes, brother is good to Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu likes brother too, I like brother the most." Xiaojiu tilted her head, smiled sweetly and acted coquettishly in Lu Ziqi's arms.

Lu Ziqi's mouth corners stiffened slightly, and his eyes trembled: "Brother also likes Xiaojiu the most."

Xiaojiu is a little deer demon. He met him by chance when he was expelled from Luling Mountain. At that time, Xiaojiu was bullied and abused by his own people. He was seriously injured and almost died. It was really a pitiful little life.

Ever since he picked up Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu has been the only one who has been with him all these years, and he has already put Xiaojiu into his life.

Seeing that Xiaojiu liked Shi Qi so much, Lu Ziqi gradually let down his guard towards Shi Qi.

Shi Qi made the dough and began to prepare the seasonings and vegetables.

Seeing Lu Ziqi's inexplicably gentler look, Shi Qi swallowed.

Why that look? Could it be that... the effect of Su Xiaoxiao's rebirth has begun?

He wanted to use his tenderness to influence her, to establish a good relationship with her, and then when she wasn't paying attention... kill her?

Shi Qi's eyelids twitched, and he looked at the spicy seasoning in his hands with flickering eyes.

Well, she had been killed by him once anyway, so it wouldn’t be too much for her to add some spice to it…

Shi Qi slowly sprinkled chili powder and the mustard powder she specially made on the barbecue pizza. She looked calm, but she was actually a little guilty.

By the time she brought out two large plates of pizza, Xiaojiu's mouth was watering.

"Here, Xiaojiu, this is the fruit pizza I made for you; uh... this is yours." Shi Qi put down the tray and for a moment he didn't know how to address Lu Ziqi.

The man seemed to see Shi Qi's embarrassment and smiled gently: "Young Master, just call me Ziqi. I like this name. If you feel uncomfortable, you can call me by my full name."

Shi Qi:?

Ziqi? So intimate?

If she wasn't sick, she definitely wouldn't scream like that.

"Hey, Ziqi, this is the barbecue pizza prepared for you. Try it while it's hot and see if it suits your taste." Shi Qi smiled flatteringly and considerately cut the pizza into pieces.

A flattering look.

Alas, she ended up becoming the person she hated.

Tutu:......

Lu Ziqi was stunned, looking at the pizza in confusion: "Master, are you making sesame cakes? So it's called pizza in the palace."

Shi Qi didn't explain, but just asked Lu Ziqi to start.

"You've worked hard, little master. Come eat."

"No, no, no, guests come first. Look how delicious Xiaojiu's food is." Shi Qi shook his hand to refuse.

The portion in front of her was of normal flavor, so of course she wanted to watch Lu Ziqi eat it before happily enjoying the food.

The pizza looked golden and the aroma of meat filled the air. Lu Ziqi picked up a piece of pizza, took a bite, and savored it slowly.

Shi Qi looked at it eagerly, wanting to see the man’s chapped expression.

But after eating a piece, the man had no reaction, and even praised her with a look of enjoyment: "Hmm... so delicious, the young chef's cooking skills are really excellent, the food in the palace is really different from the Taoist temple. The meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it blends with the fragrance of the bread, the color, aroma and taste are perfect."

He was still not satisfied after saying that, so he picked up another piece and ate it happily.

Shi Qi was confused. For a moment, she wondered if she had placed the tray in the wrong place.

But she picked up her own and tasted it, and it was fine, the one she was eating had normal flavor.

Shi Qi hesitated: "Zi Qi, don't you think the taste is spicy?"

Lu Ziqi stopped what he was doing and asked in confusion: "Huh? No."

Shi Qi didn't believe it, so he picked up a piece from his plate and took a big bite.

One second, two seconds...

Shi Qi kept silent, his face turning green and then red.

Shi Qi: !!!

Hiss... hiss!

Save her, save her...

Does this deer have no sense of taste?

"Young master, why are you so pale? Why are you crying? Did I say anything wrong?" Lu Ziqi was at a loss when he saw Shi Qi was in pain.

Shi Qi felt herself rolling her eyes, and the spicy feeling in her throat almost made her spit out the food in her mouth.

My eyes were wet and I couldn't see Lu Ziqi's expression clearly.

She felt that he was showing off to her.

"Little master, are you feeling the spiciness? I seem to smell the aroma of mustard greens. Wow, can I have a taste?" Xiao Jiu sniffed and moved closer to the Lu Ziqi plate.

Shi Qi trembled and took a sip of water: "Of course, it's okay, but... don't you think it's spicy? Hiss... ha"

"Ah? The young chef can't eat it either. My brother and I really like the taste, but people here seem to be unable to accept it. My brother has never made it in the kitchen. Now the young chef has turned it into powder. This is enough to satisfy my brother and me!" Xiao Jiu said happily, stuffing a big bite into his mouth. As expected, he looked very enjoyable.

When Shi Qi heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning.

"Xiaojiu, eat slowly. The young master is really considerate. He knows our preferences. He is really thoughtful. Thank you, young master." Lu Ziqi smiled lightly, and his eyes became softer when he looked at Shi Qi.

Shi Qi's eyes wandered, and he waved his hands reluctantly: "No...you're welcome."

Deer eat grass and vegetables, she knew.

But she really didn't know that these two deer ate mustard greens...
